Distinct alterations in central pain processing of visceral and somatic pain in quiescent ulcerative colitis compared to irritable bowel syndrome and health.

When confronted with acute pain from multiple bodily sites, UC patients' responses are distinctly altered. Their failure to prioritize pain arising from the viscera may reflect a lack of adaptive behavioral flexibility possibly resulting from long-lasting central effects of repeated intestinal inflammatory insults persisting during remission. The role of psychological factors, particularly chronic stress, in visceral sensitivity and disease-specific alterations in the response to acute pain call for dedicated mechanistic research as a basis for tailoring interventions for intestinal and extraintestinal pain symptoms in IBD.

Female and Male Fertility after Colectomy and Reconstructive Surgery in Inflammatory Bowel Diesase: A National Cohort Study from Sweden.

Fertility was reduced in women after colectomy for IBD. The least impact was seen when a deviated rectum was left intact. IRA was associated with no further reduction in fertility, whereas proctectomy and IPAA were associated with the strongest impairment. IRA therefore seems to be the preferred reconstruction to preserve fertility in selected female patients. Fertility in men was only moderately reduced after colectomy.

AFP-L3 and DCP are superior to AFP in predicting waitlist dropout in hepatocellular carcinoma patients: results of a prospective study.

Kaplan-Meier probability of waitlist dropout within 2 years was 21.8% in those with AFP-L3 < 35% and DCP < 7.5 ng/mL, 59.9% with either AFP-L3 or DCP elevated, and 100% for those with both elevated (p < 0.001). In this prospective study, listing AFP-L3% and DCP were superior to AFP in predicting waitlist dropout with the combination of AFP-L3 = 35% and DCP = 7.5 ng/mL associated with a 100% risk of waitlist dropout, thus clearly adding prognostic value to AFP alone.

Inhibition of mouse trypsin isoforms by SPINK1 and effect of human pancreatitis-associated mutations.

Human SPINK1 and its mouse ortholog inhibited mouse trypsins with comparable efficiency (K 60 nM and 47.5 pM, respectively), whereas mutations D35S (human N34S) and A56S (human P55S) had no impact on trypsin inhibition. Our results confirmed that high-affinity trypsin inhibition by SPINK1 is conserved in the mouse, and the functional consequences of human pancreatitis-associated SPINK1 mutations can be replicated in the mouse inhibitor.
